  • not exactly an unbiased same

    There’s no such thing as “unbiased”. If you see something you think is unbiased, that thing just reflects your bias.

    Explain how the “ruling class” does this to a rural subsistence farming village

    So here’s the thing. I want an end to borders and government, but the reality is that these social constructs exist and are acted upon regardless of my political desires. Those subsistence farming villages are a part of geopolitical governments, so it impacts them based on how the ruling class interacts with their government. The IMF is a concoction from capitalists to project neo-colonial power on the Global South. To get a loan from the IMF, countries are literally required to privatize vast swaths of their public services and public property, they’re required to loosen labor laws, and they need to open themselves up to foreign companies that extract their resources to make a profit that is not reinvested into that country.


  • But I don’t want the border to be frictionless for people I don’t like

    And therein lies the rub: if their government doesn’t like you, the border then binds you but does not protect you. Borders exist because it projects power onto people within, and gives arbitrary rules for entry without. If you want truly free movement, you can’t have projections of power


  • As if a democratically elected government representing people in a certain place should have no right to its own sovereignty so that YOU don’t have to deal with paperwork

    Most people I know that want an end to borders also want the end of government.

    But then when it comes to countries that struggle to find work for their own people

    If people are struggling to survive but there are no jobs to be found, it’s because the work that needs to be done isn’t profitable. The work needs to be done to benefit society, but the ruling class demands that all work must be profitable.




  • Damn, Clarence went for the long con. Created the Marshall Mathers persona, and then the Eminem persona for their Marshall Mathers persona, and then the Slim Shady persona for the Eminem persona. Killed the Slim Shady persona after “Marshall” went to rehab, brought the Slim Shady persona back after a “relapse”, killed the Slim Shady persona again (for good this time?), and now just pretends that Eminem and Marshall are the same.
